- Lieutenant Steve 'Stevie' MacBride: [Exasperated] I never know what you're gonna do next.
- Torchy Blane: Wait'll we get married!
- Lieutenant Steve 'Stevie' MacBride: Cleveland? Cleveland? What's in Cleveland?
- Detective Gahagan: Ohio.
- Lieutenant Steve 'Stevie' MacBride: Hammond's been murdered!
- Torchy Blane: [Sarcastically] No? I thought he was lying in front of that fireplace to keep warm!
- Dud, a Reporter: Slowly but surely I'm getting an idea.
- Mugsy, a Reporter: [to the bartender] Yeah? Quick, Herman - the bromo!
- Detective Gahagan: [Trying to hit a note] Me, me, me. How'd you like my execution?
- Mugsy, a Reporter: I'm in favor of it.
- Torchy Blane: [to Steve] It won't do, my little man. You're the guy that swapped fireside to homicide. Now you're going to stick until Hammond's murderer is caught!
- Lieutenant Steve 'Stevie' MacBride: I'll be busy on the case for the next 48 hours.
- Torchy Blane: Oh, no, no, no! Wedding bells and mysteries don't mix. When we start our honeymoon, the mystery's gonna be over.
- Lieutenant Steve 'Stevie' MacBride: Don't worry about Torchy. I'll handle her.
- Mugsy, a Reporter: That'll be something new and different.
- Harvey Hammond: Any preference as to the manner of death?
- Mortimer Gray: No. I don't think so. You know, you're the first murder victim who ever had his choice of weapon.
- Harvey Hammond: Well, it should be something very romantic and mysterious. What would you say to my lady's silk stockings?
- Mortimer Gray: I don't agree with you. Trying to make a monkey out of a prominent newspaper woman can hurt the paper. It isn't ethical, mo boy.
- Dud, a Reporter: But, it's just a gag!
- Lieutenant Steve 'Stevie' MacBride: You can tell the boys from me that Torchy Blaine flew around the world in record time because she was on her toes and anytime the reporters can keep up with her, they'll always get an even break from me.
- Captain McTavish: With you married to Torchy, the boys are going to say that she gets all the breaks.
- Lieutenant Steve 'Stevie' MacBride: Well, what do you want me to do - marry the boys?
- Mortimer Gray: What's the matter with you Mugsy? You drunk or just licked?
- Mugsy, a Reporter: Licked! Licked by a boss without a sense of humor.
- Maxie: Oh, there you are. I thought you'd been taking another trip around the world.
- Torchy Blane: If Steve finds out what I'm doing, I better.
- Mrs. Jenny Hammond: Put it on the chair, Daisy. Don't touch that! I'll take care of it.
- Daisy: Yessim. Is there anything else?
- Mrs. Jenny Hammond: I told you there's nothing else for you to do. Oh, yes there is. Get me a cab, quickly.
- Daisy: Yessim.
- Lieutenant Steve 'Stevie' MacBride: Mrs. Hammond, do you know anyone who might call your husband: darling?
- Mrs. Jenny Hammond: At least a dozen women.
- Torchy Blane: Accusing? Accusing? You've been doing the accusing in print. I'm only trying to prove it.
